Turbulent Times Chapter 22: City broken

For the remaining water bag of poison, Wang Junlin will sneak into the Turkic camp tonight and put it in the clean water they drink.

These 3,000 Turkic people don't trust anyone other than them, and the Turkic people and the Han people are too different in appearance and appearance. Zhou Hu and other scouts are not bad, but they can't get in among the Turkic people and poison them However, only Wu San, Wu Si and Wang Junlin had the strength to sneak into the enemy camp, so they were allowed to take the risk.

…

…

The next day, just after dawn, Yu Juluo ordered the Sui army to attack the city, and it was even more violent than yesterday and without any loss. What made Yu Juluo's face more and more ugly was that the soldiers of the Ge Dao Department defending the city seemed to be possessed. No matter how many people died, the morale of the remaining soldiers was terrible. But they were all blocked by the people from the Ge Dao Department desperately. He even saw several people from the Ge Dao Department jumping down from the top of the city with the Sui army attacking the top of the city from a distance, and died together.

In one morning, sharp arrowheads pierced through the bones of the city, the sound of killing was soaring, and corpses were scattered all over the field...

The wide and wet moat was filled with corpses, neither rich nor cheap, all of them were dead bones... The cold wind was blowing towards the face, and there was still a burst of blood, which shows that the two armies fought in this day and a half Tragic.

Yu Juluo and the generals of the Sui Army never imagined that Longxi City, which was guarded by the soldiers of the Ge Dao Department, would be so difficult to break through. Putting in the most elite troops under his command, he killed many enemy troops defending the city, but they couldn't break the city.

If Longxi City cannot be broken within three days, it means that Jincheng County's 80,000 troops are defeated, and it also means that Jincheng County and Longxi County have fallen into the enemy's hands. This is the biggest defeat since the founding of the Sui Dynasty. Such a result would be unbearable even for Yu Juluo, unless he could take back the two counties of Longxi and Jincheng within two months and severely inflicted damage on the enemy. Otherwise, including Yu Juluo, many generals will suffer, beheaded and imprisoned, or demoted from rank to rank. This is a result that no one wants to see.

The casualties were too heavy, and the siege was urged too hard and too fast. The morale of the Sui army had been greatly affected. Yu Juluo had to order a suspension of the siege, and the Sui army retreated like a tide. The armies of both sides were busy eating and resting, waiting for the fierce battle in the afternoon.

"Everyone, I don't need to say much about the current situation. If Longxi City cannot be broken today, if the Jincheng defenders are defeated tomorrow, nearly 300,000 Turkic and Tuyuhun troops will march straight in. Jincheng, Longxi Lost, and nearly a million people became slaves of foreign races. None of us can bear the consequences." In the tent of the Sui army commander, Yu Juluotong said with a very gloomy face and red eyes.

The faces of all the eagle generals are also extremely ugly, but there is only one and a half days left, no matter how brave they are, no matter how clever they are, they really can't think of a way to break the city.

Although he didn't have any hope, seeing that no one said anything, Yu Juluo sighed in great disappointment, and said: "This commander decided to choose a thousand dare-to-die soldiers from among his own soldiers. When we go back, we will also select 500 brave men from among our own soldiers, gather these 6,000 people in one place, and try to break through the gap in one fell swoop and take Longxi City. This is the only way this commander can think of, and it may be our last This is the best solution. This commander hopes that you can select the most heroic soldiers from your personal guards."

All the eagles and Yanglang will know the seriousness of the matter, and they all swear that they will never show favoritism.

However, at this moment, there was a burst of exclamation from outside the tent, and then the screams gradually increased, and finally turned into earth-shattering cheers.

Yu Juluo and Zhongying Yanglang were all in shock, Yu Juluo shouted: "What's the noise outside?"

Lieutenant Guo Yi, the deputy commander of the personal army, opened the curtain and rushed in, with an expression of ecstasy and disbelief, knelt down on one knee and said excitedly, "To the Commander-in-Chief, Longxi City is broken? "

"What did you say?" Yu Juluo and almost all Ying Yanglang asked in unison, suspecting that they had heard it wrong.

"The south gate of Longxi City was opened, and the defenders at the top of the city seemed to be poisoned one by one, and they all fell down on the top of the city, and some even fell off the top of the city." Pei Yuanqing was frightened by the generals After a jump, he hurriedly said, but this matter was too weird, and he didn't know how to explain it.

"Hurry up, send the order, the cavalry will charge towards the south city gate, hurry up." Yu Juluo rushed out of the commander's tent with all the generals, looking around, it was as Pei Yuanqing said, the south city gate was wide open, The defenders at the top of the city could no longer see those standing, so they ordered decisively.

"Marshal, could it be the enemy's treachery." A general Ying Yanglang said with some hesitation.

"What kind of stupid trick will open the gate of the city." Another general Ying Yanglang said.

Everyone thinks so too!

Before the Sui cavalry put down their bowls and chopsticks, got on their horses and charged, a cavalry rushed out from the south gate and galloped towards the Sui camp.

"It's Wang Junlin!" Pei Yuanqing and Guo Shubiao, who were standing not far from Yujuluo, shouted at the same time.

"Send an order to let him come here, and the cavalry continue to rush into Longxi City at the fastest speed." Yu Juluo ordered.

Very soon, Wang Junlin came ten steps away from Yu Juluo and the others, galloped off his horse, ran to Yu Juluo and knelt down on one knee in front of the marching salute, and said loudly: "The humble official waiting team King Junlin of Wuhuo, under the order of the chief commander, led 20 scouts under his command to infiltrate Longxi City, successfully rescued Dugu Chief, and poisoned the enemy troops in the city with poison, and was able to take Longxi City. The governor enters the city."

Yu Juluo and the other generals were already dumbfounded when they heard this, and while they were ecstatic, they felt it was unbelievable. But the facts were in front of them, and they couldn't believe it, because at this time the Sui cavalry running in the forefront had rushed into the city, climbed to the top of the city, planted the Sui army's banner, and sent a signal to this side.

Yu Juluo stepped forward in person, helped Wang Junlin up with both hands, and said excitedly, "You are fine, as expected, the commander-in-chief did not misunderstand the person. The commander-in-chief will definitely reward you and make great contributions to you Report it to the imperial court personally, and ask His Majesty to give you credit."

Wang Junlin was also ecstatic, and said loudly, "Thank you, Commander."

Yu Ju Luo Sui said loudly: "Give me an order. Liu Fang and Pei Wuqing will lead 30,000 cavalry to rush to Jincheng County for support, leave 10,000 infantry in the first mansion to guard the city, and kill the rest of the enemy. After a short rest, the government army can set off and march to Jincheng County in a hurry."

The generals still had too many questions in their minds, but this was not the time to ask them, so they bowed to accept the order, and then took a deep look at Wang Junlin, keeping his voice, appearance and appearance firmly in mind, and left in a hurry.

King Bo Duo would never allow himself to be surrounded by the Sui army in order to kill the poisoner. Therefore, after all the defenders in the city were poisoned, they knew that the situation was over. Although they were dying of grief and indignation, they escaped from the north gate with Wu Tu, who was lucky not to be poisoned, and the three hundred Turkic soldiers responsible for guarding him.

As for another expert in the city, the Taoist priest who climbed out of the sarcophagus was injured and hid in a private house in Longxi City to recuperate. He lost his master, and the person he was looking for had already left Longxi City with the army and headed for Jincheng County.

…

People in Jincheng County usually call it Jincheng for short. The offensive and defensive battles in Jincheng were extremely fierce. Song and Tianshui County Ying Yanglang will assist Han Ziliang and three others. Originally there were 80,000 people, but after ten days of fighting, it was already less than 50,000.

As for the West Turkic and Tuyuhun side, it was Luo Khan who led the 200,000 Turkic cavalry, and the 50,000 Tuyuhun cavalry who first attacked Jincheng County were no longer outside Jincheng County. The army dispersed and burned, killed and looted in counties, towns and villages of Jincheng County.

Because I know that Yu Juluo, the number one fierce general in the Sui Dynasty, commanded 100,000 elites, and was attacking Longxi City, which was occupied by the Turks and Godot tribes, and time was particularly important at this time. As long as the Sui army can persist until the Yujuluo army comes to help, they can break the siege. Similarly, if the Turkic army captured Jincheng before Yujuluo captured Longxi City, it would mean a disastrous defeat for the Sui army.

So, as early as five days ago, Luo Khan of the Western Turkic Division divided the army into two waves and ordered a fierce attack on Jincheng County day and night. The defenders of the Sui army in the city naturally divided into two waves of defense. But knowing that the back road was cut off, morale was always sluggish. Fortunately, Chen Sansi, the prefect of Jincheng County, Yuwen Junchi, Li Luoge and Han Ziliang are all capable ministers, and they cooperated sincerely, so they barely survived until now.

Since the Western Turks took over the siege as agreed, the offensive and defensive battle has entered the sixth day. The Western Turkic army has sent 200,000 troops to attack Jincheng County in turn, with more than 50,000 casualties and 80,000 defending the city. Nearly 30,000 people were killed or injured by the Sui army. Although the city was not broken, it was still at the end of its strength. It could last for half a day at most, and the city could be broken at any time during this half day.

'Boom! Boom! Boom! ’

Besides Jincheng, drums were beating like thunder, and 10,000 Turkic soldiers on each of the four walls rushed towards the city walls of Jincheng County with siege ladders. When the distance was more than a hundred steps, the arrows of both sides flew back and forth in the air as if covering the sky and the sun, and the sounds of killing and screaming were mixed together, one after another. Compared with the various sharp weapons used by the Sui army when they attacked Longxi, except for the ladders, the Turkic soldiers only had shields that could withstand the attack of the Sui army at the top of the city. Therefore, every time a siege ladder was put on the city wall, hundreds of people died, but The Turks have always been advancing one after another, rushing upwards crazily.

There are dead bodies all over the city, and the morale of the Sui army at the top of the city is obviously much lower than that of the Turkic people. Chen Sansi, the prefect of Jincheng County, was in charge of a city wall and personally supervised the battle, and even took the lead in fighting, and they were defeated long ago.
